I love ANYTHING by Brian Evenson. His short stories are so weird. Samanta Schweblin also has some surreal horror collections.

Fooli Cooli (FCLC)

For fun, I try to unpack its symbolism and message, but honestly a lot of it is weird for weird's sake.

Absolutely love FLCL! Not only is it awesome, it introduced me to The Pillows.

Ohhh Twin Peaks, for sure. Especially season 3 in terms of the level of absurdity and in particular the way Kyle McLachlan and Naomi Watts absolutely reveled in the absurdity of their characters. I'd do a rewatch of season 3 if I weren't still mourning so badly.

obligatory Monty Python but I gotta shout out American Dad's occasional absurdist trip. Between seasons 9 and 15 they were almost all surreal in some way but prior to that it was the holiday episodes and they're the best, probably because instead of the absurd being the standard, it was a nice treat in juxtaposition to the actual scripted sitcom-style series. But the later seasons have episodes like Jeff slowly turning into Guy Fieri due to demon possession and I loooooolllled it was so absurdist good.

I think I'm always going to have a soft spot for The Mighty Boosh and Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy. I know its dated, but it still makes me giggle and I love the cheap costumes and sets.

I have a lot of those, but right now I have a really soft spot for Briarpatch - I don't think a lot of people heard of this show, but I love it, it's a bit surreal daylight noir

Tuca and Bertie. It handles some heavy subjects (CSA, workplace harassment, gentrification) very gracefully but it also has buildings with boobs, sentient moss, gravity-defying turtles and snakes as subway trains.
